Sovereignty The United States is a sovereign nation, however, the town of Primrose is not. A sovereign nation is a nation with its own constitution. Because the United States is sovereign, they are independent from other nations and have the freedom to establish a government. Cities and towns are not sovereign which means that the United States federal government governs and supports the town, the town itself does not have its own government.
